DISTANCE—HOW FAR YOU CAN DRIVE

Factors affecting run-flat or low tire pressure operating

distance include vehicle speed, load, and maneuvering;

the amount of inflation pressure loss; the extent of any tire

damage; and ambient temperature.

The tire may be marked on the sidewall with run-flat or

low tire pressure operating speed and/or distance limita-

tions, which vary by tire design and vehicle application

(consult your vehicle owner’s manual). By international

standard, RFT tires have a baseline limitation in run-flat

mode of the following:

Maximum Speed: 50 mph (80 km/h)

Maximum Distance: 50 miles (80 km)

Note:

• Maximum distance values are determined under controlled

conditions, which may vary in actual use.

• Your mileage capability may be less, or more, depending on

your specific operating conditions.

• If in doubt, do not exceed the 50 mile (80 km) limitation.

• Seek tire service as soon as possible to minimize tire

damage.

SPECIAL SERVICE and REPAIR ISSUES

Run-Flat Certified Retailers

Because of the advanced technology and design of RFT tires

and the required tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS),

Bridgestone Firestone Run-Flat Certified Retailers are specially

trained to sell and service RFT tires.

Run-Flat Certified Retailers have the necessary equipment and

are specially trained to properly mount and demount RFT tires

and to handle TPMS devices. Conventional mounting equip-

ment may irreparably damage RFT tires and an improper

repair is unsafe and will void the Limited Warranty.

Accordingly, it is important to go to a Bridgestone Firestone Run-

Flat Certified Retailer for tire maintenance and replacement.

Call toll-free 1-877-BFS-4RFT or visit www

to locate the nearest Bridgestone Firestone Run-Flat Certified

Retailer.

Inspection after Run-Flat or Low Pressure Operation

Following run-flat or low tire pressure operation, or in the event of

any other tire damage or unusual condition, it is very important to

obtain a proper and complete tire evaluation as soon as possible.
